Spring Breakers SXSW 2013 Press Conference Pictures

Selena Gomez Wraps Up SXSW Trip Ahead of Spring Breakers Debut

Selena Gomez and Ashley Benson were on hand to chat about Spring Breakers at SXSW in Austin, Texas, yesterday. The cast, including James Franco, already premiered Spring Breakers at SXSW on Sunday, but they stuck around for another day to do a press conference. While Selena looked glamorous in a blue Cushnie et Ochs dress, her co-star Ashley revealed their slightly less polished routine before the event when she posted a photo on Instagram of the two of them munching on fast food.

The film, which follows a group of girls who rob a restaurant to pay for a Spring break vacation, will undoubtedly show Selena and her co-stars in a different light. She and Vanessa Hudgens, who are both best known for being Disney stars, recently talked about how they were excited to do the raunchy new film. Selena said, "Disney is a machine, and I'm grateful for it, but I feel like being part of that environment made me crave the reaction from other projects even more. Creatively this is where I wanted to go." With her SXSW obligations all wrapped up, Selena and Ashley returned to California to prepare for the March 15 US release of their new flick — it releases in Australia on May 9.
